| − | * ''"Offline rendering systems, such as those used in CAD applications, stress accuracy over frame rate... each frame of animation might take hours to render. Real-time renderers, like game engines and simulators, tend to emphasize constant frame rate to keep animations smooth and fluid, and are willing to sacrifice both geometric and texture detail in order to do this."'' - from the [http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,9722,00.asp ExtremeTech 3D Pipeline Tutorial] by [http://www.extremetech.com/author_bio/0,1728,a%253D234,00.asp Dave Salvator]
